Orange Is The New Black: 10 Things You Need To Know About Ruby Rose

The coolness factor runs the risk of exploding off the charts upon learning that at one time, Rose actually wanted to become a professional boxer. This is not as random as it sounds, given that the actress is actually the daughter of bantamweight boxer Lionel Edmund Rose, the first indigenous Australian boxer to win the world title.

And it wasn’t just a pipe dream either. The woman certainly has the honest-to-goodness balls to match her tough image and yes, she has actually taken part in ring fights and won. The fact that the match took place for the afore-mentioned charity Headspace only helps Rose collect more kudos. Add to that the fact that she had been training for a piddling 3 months but was pitted against a fighter with 2 years’ experience… and it’s impossible not to give a little cheer upon learning that she won all 3 rounds.

Rose says that she trained 6-hours a day in order to do well on the ring and that she only stopped the sport after friends and family begged her to. Still, all the training should stand her in good stead in the cut-throat corridors of Litchfield Penitentiary.
